Victim Advocates
The Hattiesburg Police Department has two Victim Advocates, Anna Clark and Ashton Thompson, who provide assistance to victims and families of rape, sexual assault, aggravated assault, and other crimes. Victims are offered information and counseling support, such as court accompaniment and advocacy, support during medical proceedings, preparation of victim impact statements, temporary housing, etc. Furthermore, the advocates serve as liaisons between the police department, the court system, and other agencies that provide assistance to victims.
They also support the department's commitment to crime prevention through their efforts to promote public awareness of causes and effects of domestic violence. In fact, they play an integral role in the City of Hattiesburg's annual tribute during the month of October, which is declared Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
